Tidal Stream Energy Conversion

This one day course will provide a detailed overview of the fundamental principles behind the main technological solutions to convert tidal stream ocean energy into electricity, along with the key methodologies to evaluate the tidal resource, site suitability and device performance and loading. In addition, hydrodynamic modelling techniques (both numerical and experimental), a review of the different leading concepts, the design of foundations and installation process and seabed infrastructure, and an account of the industry’s progress to full-scale deployment will also be covered.
